Om den här e-boken
A play about a banned book, a small town, and fiction’s power to both divide and unite, from the “prodigiously talented” Pulitzer Prize finalist (Charles Isherwood, Variety).
In small-town America, a young adult novel about teen pregnancy is banned by the local school board, igniting a fierce and violent debate over abortion, religious beliefs, and modern feminism. The decade-old novel’s directionless New York City author arrives in town to defend the book and finds that it has inspired a group of local teens to rebel in strange and unexpected ways. A timely and unforgettable drama about the failure of urban and heartland America to understand each other, The Metal Children explores what happens when fiction becomes a matter of life and death.
Acclaim for Adam Rapp
“An original . . . a distinctive voice.” —Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press
“An oblique and haunting style reminiscent of Haruki Murakami’s best fiction.” —Ed Park, The Village Voice
“Rapp is a latter-day incarnation of Sam Shepard.” —John Lahr, The New Yorker
